It is a "concept release" - still time for changes. Yet like any of the MINI's that have come out this too may be liked for its oddity and inovative "Globe" with included keyboard, blue glass markings and mis-matched leather. I ask you, if a couple is out having a drive and the passenger hits a wrong key on the slideout keyboard, will the high tech "Globe" give a PC like blue screen of death making the "ball" slide to the right and self ejecting into the drivers face thus cousing the drivers head to fall forward and smashing the blue glass and allowing a newly open cut on ones face to make the mis-matched leather now match in the color of red? furious

IT could happen!

Mighty Mo, sometimes I think it'd be better for you to communicate via comic strip.

But yes, I can see the situation you proposed becoming problematic. I bet the blue globe of doom is a concept feature and the cockpit of the production model will be similar to the rest of the MINI family.

Still hoping that they decide not to make this one!

I have to agree with the majority I do not like it, it doesn't look very friendly.

TrixieinNY......LOL I love it biggrin

That may be the point however. It is the SUVesque MINI it gives a tougher vibe. Look at a lot of Subarus they have an angry face. At least my wife's one has a look of I am going to run you down and drive over you because I have 4 wheels of power.

haha, gotta love some return of the living dead action. The car is so ugly though

If the above post I made were to happen to a lesser degree where the computer did fault, do you have to reboot the car? If so how? Do you kick the tire or open and close all the doors? If the system software is MS based, now I am scared. Yet it is still a MINI and we all know that MINIs are built well.

New MINIs (BMW) are built well...Classic MINIs (Rover) are...well...."unique".....
If it rains, my radio shorts out and dies

Some MINIs would have rust on them....Brand new at the dealership...Its said that Rust fairys would fly around the factory sprinkling rust seeds on them...None the less I love my Classic MINI (and my New MINI) biggrin

Poached from Top Gear - here's another picture of the SUV at the Paris Auto Show.

Those guys had better not get too close, 'else they get bitten by the were-car.

ETA: more pictures here
